As I look into getting a "real flask" I wanted to see what others do that have ceramic glass top stoves. I would like to do all my boiling and cooling in the flask, yet I don't have a gas stove. Does anyone use bunsen burners?

hmmm....yeah, I do happen to have that. I didn't think about it. I'm wondering if I would cause myself issues with all the things floating in the air out there! Course, no idea whats floating in the air in my pet filled house either!

I've only had my ceramic for 1 year, I do recall in the booklet it came with, it said not to use cookware like pyrex. I think I read some forums out there that cited some examples of the glass fusing with the ceramic top. I dont recall what brand.

I just put foil under it, for more even heating... seems to work fine.

After a year with my ceramic top, I am less paranoid with it. However sometimes when we go on vacation and use a rental house with a ceramic top, we've used foil on the burner to heat up tortillas. I have noticed that it leaves some marks. Have you noticed anything Pol?
